<p>I would do both, as you might be looking for the exact location or the municipal border.</p>

I'm a little new to OSM, recently I found that neither of the city<br>
boundaries for the Langley area showed up in searches for "Langley".<br>
The issue was that neither had any type of name entry with just "Langley"<br>
<br>
I added an alt_name=Langley to both of the boundaries myself:<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031946" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031946</a> (City of Langley)<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031947" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2031947</a> (Township of Langley)<br>
<br>
I was wondering if alt_name was the correct one to use for this. How to<br>
organize naming tags seems to be a regional thing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Also when I brought this up in other channels it was recommended that I<br>
add the Langley place node (<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52555902" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52555902</a>)<br>
as a 'label' member to the relevant city border.<br>
However when I look around at other cities like Surrey and Vancouver I<br>
do not see this relation setup elsewhere.<br>
Thoughts?<br>
